SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Pale Cyst Nematode.
OMB Control Number: 0579–0322.
Type of Request: Revision to and
extension of approval of an information
collection.
Abstract: As authorized by the Plant
Protection Act (PPA, 7 U.S.C. 7701 et
seq.), the Secretary of Agriculture, either
independently or in cooperation with
States, may carry out operations or
measures to detect, eradicate, suppress,
control, prevent, or retard the spread of
plant pests that are new to or not widely
distributed within the United States.
This authority has been delegated to the
Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, which administers
regulations to implement the PPA.
In accordance with the regulations in
‘‘Subpart–Pale Cyst Nematode’’ (7 CFR
301.86 through 301.86–9), APHIS
restricts the interstate movement of
certain articles to help prevent the
artificial spread of pale cyst nematode,
a major pest of potato crops in cooltemperature areas, to noninfested areas
of the United States. The regulations
contain requirements for the interstate
movement of regulated articles and
involve information collection
activities, including certificates,
permits, and compliance agreements.
For this collection, we are also adding
self-certification as an additional
information collection activity.
Since the last approval of this
collection, the areas regulated for pale
cyst nematode have decreased. The
decrease in regulated areas and the
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
additional information collection
activity have contributed to an overall
decrease by 39 of the estimated annual
number of respondents and an increase
by 41 hours in the estimated total
annual burden on respondents.
We are asking the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) to
approve our use of these information
collection activities, as described, for an
additional 3 years.
The purpose of this notice is to solicit
comments from the public (as well as
affected agencies) concerning our
information collection. These comments
will help us:
(1) Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of our
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(4) Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, through use, as
appropriate, of automated, electronic,
mechanical, and other collection
technologies; e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Estimate of burden: The public
reporting burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 0.2
hours per response.
Respondents: U.S. potato producers,
packers, processors, and handlers of
potatoes.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 113.
Estimated annual number of
responses per respondent: 16.
Estimated annual number of
responses: 1,860.
Estimated total annual burden on
respondents: 383 hours. (Due to
averaging, the total annual burden hours
may not equal the product of the annual
number of responses multiplied by the
reporting burden per response.)
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
also become a matter of public record.
Done in Washington, DC, this 31st day of
December 2014.
Kevin Shea,
Administrator, Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service.
